Re: Training around Groin Strain

Thanks for the replies guys. I use a heart rate monitor for all my E work, that’s how I know that if I get my heart rate into my aerobic zone which using the Maff method for me is 130-140 that my legs just die. Keeping 135 on a bike for me is way more intense than 135 running and I’m sure I’m not in...

The First time I ran base I was in a very similar boat, it destroyed me. I made it through but I was so unconditioned and untrained that it was grim. Pushups were the ones that killed me, I was literally grinding out 1-2 at at time by the end of a set, I think The 3 x50 at the end took me something ...

Training around Groin Strain

Hi everyone, I strained my Groin about 6 weeks ago and it’s still bad, I can’t do anything squat/lunge related and I can run either. I’ve been pretty sedatary because of this. I’m going to run another base block starting tomorrow so I don’t have to try contend with heavy squats or deadlifts. My base...

Re: Reading List

Nearly at the End of John rain Number 3 and enjoying the series, much less fantastical violence of super hero proportions which is a refreshing change, I like that The author narrates then too, he has a good voice for it. I’ll definitley listen to the entire series.

Re: 6 weeks out - Re run base or carry on continuation

I’d rather not go back to base as I plan to run another at the back end of the year. I did like you say consider doing strength first BB...
